Is LocalPetFinder the same as Petfinder?
No. LocalPetFinder is an independent UK website and is not connected with Petfinder. We bring together dogs, cats and rabbits from UK rescues and rehoming centres, and every profile links to the rescue that cares for the animal, so you apply with them directly.
How is LocalPetFinder different from Pets4Homes?
Pets4Homes describes itself as the UK’s largest online pet marketplace, connecting buyers with breeders as well as shelters and charities. LocalPetFinder is for adoption: our listings come from rescues and rehoming centres and from owners rehoming their own pet, each checked by a reviewer before it goes live. We do not take adverts from breeders.
Can I find Scottish SPCA animals on LocalPetFinder?
No. We do not list the Scottish SPCA’s animals, at any of its rescue and rehoming centres. The Scottish SPCA, Scotland’s animal welfare charity, runs its own search: use Scottish SPCA Find a Pet to see the animals at its centres across Scotland. The RSPCA works in England and Wales, not Scotland.
